HPE 32Gb SFP+ SW 1-Pack Commercial Temperature Transceiver (P9H30A)

Description

The HPE 32Gb SFP+ SW 1-Pack Commercial Temperature Transceiver (P9H30A) provides high-speed optical connectivity for HPE Fibre Channel storage networking infrastructure.

Designed for 32Gb Fibre Channel environments, the transceiver uses short-wave (SW) optical technology and an LC connector for connection to compatible multimode Fibre Channel cabling. HPE specifies an 850nm wavelength and a 28.05Gb/s line speed for this transceiver.

The commercial-temperature version is designed to operate from 0°C to 70°C, making it appropriate for controlled data-center, server-room, and enterprise IT environments. HPE specifies typical power consumption of approximately 1W, with a maximum of 1.5W.

The P9H30A is particularly useful when additional Fibre Channel optics are required for compatible HPE switches, directors, or storage infrastructure. HPE documentation notes that SFP transceivers may be required separately for Fibre Channel switches and directors, depending on the specific product configuration.

Key Specifications

HPE PartSurfer identifies P9H30A as the 32Gb SFP28/SFP+ short-wave commercial-temperature transceiver and associates it with spare part 855071-001.

Key Features & Benefits

• 32Gb Fibre Channel connectivity for high-performance storage networks.
• Short-wave (SW) optical technology for multimode Fibre Channel connections.
• 850nm wavelength for short-wave optical transmission.
• LC optical connector for standard Fibre Channel fiber connectivity.
• 28.05Gb/s line rate specified by HPE.
• 0–70°C commercial-temperature range for controlled enterprise environments.
• Low power consumption of approximately 1W typical.
• Suitable for expanding or replacing optics in compatible HPE Fibre Channel infrastructure.
• Supplied as a 1-pack transceiver.
• HPE-qualified option for compatible storage networking equipment.

Compatibility

The P9H30A is intended for compatible HPE Fibre Channel infrastructure, including supported Fibre Channel switches, directors, and storage networking equipment.

HPE documentation lists the 32Gb SW commercial-temperature transceiver among the optics used with the HPE SN1600 Fibre Channel ecosystem. HPE also notes that Fibre Channel switches and directors may require SFP transceivers to be ordered separately depending on the product configuration.

HPE’s compatible spare identification is:

Option Part Number: P9H30A
Spare Part Number: 855071-001

Fiber Compatibility

This is a short-wave (SW) multimode Fibre Channel optic operating at 850nm. HPE specifically distinguishes short-wave and long-wave components; SW and LW components should not be mixed on the same optical connection.

For installations using long-distance single-mode fiber, a compatible HPE long-wave (LW) transceiver and appropriate single-mode fiber should be selected instead.

Recommended Applications

• Enterprise Fibre Channel SANs
• HPE Fibre Channel switches
• HPE Fibre Channel directors
• HPE storage networking infrastructure
• Data centers
• Server rooms
• Storage area networks
• Fibre Channel link expansion
• Replacement of failed or defective Fibre Channel optics
• High-performance enterprise storage connectivity

Compatibility Note

Before installation, verify that the target HPE Fibre Channel device supports the P9H30A / 855071-001 32Gb short-wave optic.

Also verify the installed fiber infrastructure is compatible with 850nm short-wave multimode Fibre Channel optics. Do not substitute a long-wave/single-mode optic for this SW transceiver without confirming the complete optical link requirements.
